WHAT IS SHOP ADVENTURES Shop Adventures is a Weekly YouTube Series filmed at a home mostly converted into a full machining and finishing operation located in a small Mojave Desert California Town named Yucca Valley. This series follows the adventures of two childhood friends an alien and his companion as they rebuild vintage precision micro-machines and tools that will allow them the ability to make their own designed product into a reality but only after they stopped doing work for others on these same machines, with these same precision tools for the past several decades.
